this is the sort of thing that will lead to the collapse of the world; 

 

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that Ukrainian forces struck the Syzran refinery in Russia’s Samara region, about 75 miles west of Samara and 466 miles southeast of Moscow. The strike comes days after President Trump urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian refineries, as average US retail diesel prices jumped above $6 a gallon and alarming disruptions to global refining capacity threaten fuel supplies ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter. 

Zelenskyy wrote on X: 

Russia continues to attack our energy sector, regular logistics, and critical infrastructure. And our responses to them for this are tangible. There are new results from the Defense Forces of Ukraine regarding the refinery in Syzran. There was also a strike in Taganrog on a drone production facility, as well as on a drone preparation and launch site in the Oryol region. Targets were hit in the Black Sea as well. I thank every one of our warriors for the effectiveness of our long-range sanctions!

The day before, the United States also announced a significant decision regarding Russia’s VTB Bank – one of Russia’s systemic banks, which is heavily involved in schemes supporting Russia’s war and, in particular, its relations with the Iranian regime. All such schemes that work against peace truly need to be dismantled. I thank our partners for this useful step!

There is no alternative to ending this war. And all forms of pressure on Russia must create the right diplomatic conditions. Glory to Ukraine!..............more............

U.S. taxpayers are paying for the bombs. The $2.8 billion package is structured as a Foreign Military Financing (FMF) transaction: the U.S. government supplies the funds that Israel then uses to buy the munitions from American manufacturers.

This is the same mechanism used for most U.S. military aid to Israel, which already totals several billion dollars annually under existing agreements. The current planned transfer of 20,000 MK-84s, 20,000 BLU-117s, and 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads would be drawn from that aid pipeline rather than paid for out of Israel’s own budget.

Congressional notification is underway, but the financing arrangement itself is not in dispute across reporting from the Washington Post, Reuters, and other outlets covering the story today.

Just days before making his next trip to lead the ‘middle-powers-summit’ in Europe where he will deliver his grandiose speech to announce ‘sovereign’ Canada is now a European subsidiary, the former central Banker turned appointed Prime Minister of Canada has announced he’s selling the Canadian airports.

Because in the banker’s world, sovereignty comes with a price, or something.

CANADA – Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government will open up Canada’s four largest airports to private investment, but that Ottawa will maintain ownership of airport land.

The prime minister said the private money will be sought through “long-term concessions” to operate these airports, which would include Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, Trudeau International Airport in Montreal and Calgary International Airport.

“The government of Canada will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, but we will unlock their true value by bringing in new capital and expertise to their operations and growth,” Carney said during an address at the Canada Investment Summit in Toronto on Tuesday morning. ..........more..........
